So after reading the mixed reviews on this, I wasn't entirely sure whether to give this show a try or not. Luckily, I get bored easily and have nothing to do most of the time, so I decided to sit down and give it a go.

I watched all 13 episodes in one day.

So after reading the mixed reviews on this, I wasn't entirely sure whether to give this show a try or not. Luckily, I get bored easily and have nothing to do most of the time, so I decided to sit down and give it a go.

I watched all 13 episodes in one day.

Now please bear in mind that even though I'm a girl, I despise the majority of shoujo animes. The protagonist is always the same; Whiny, likes to eat, whiny, useless, whiny and they always have this horrible high pitched squeak to add to their useless and whiny personalities.

So how did I manage to sit through this anime, with a protagonist that is not unlike the one I just described? Well for me, it was hot girls in scantily dressed outfits. The storyline wasn't half bad either.

I really enjoyed the characters as well, you can't help but fall in love with Nobunaga and Akechi and heck! All of the girls! (Except for Hideyoshi... I'm sorry but she still really annoys me).

The show has a bit for everyone really. History (albeit, a little altered), Humour, Drama, Hinted-romance, and of course Action!

Some people say the show is made for the guys, which I personally think is untrue. Yeah sure there's a bit of boob bouncing, and the odd perverted scene here and there.

I think if you're a girl wanting to watch this, you either need to be gay or just don't let a little skin and show bother you.
If you're a guy watching this... Well... The only thing I can really say is, enjoy!

I can't tell if this is a really good anime or a really bad one. The amount of Pandering in this anime is simply unacceptable for any respectable anime.

First lets cover the story. The story is Inuyasha or Fushugi Yugi (they were the same anime, boys watched inuyahsa and girls watch fushugi) and this one is definitely made for boys. Considering the leader of the back in time group has a suit ...

I can't tell if this is a really good anime or a really bad one. The amount of Pandering in this anime is simply unacceptable for any respectable anime.

First lets cover the story. The story is Inuyasha or Fushugi Yugi (they were the same anime, boys watched inuyahsa and girls watch fushugi) and this one is definitely made for boys. Considering the leader of the back in time group has a suit of armor that doesn't even cover her breasts leaving her far too exposed for a warrior. Its not even in her character to dress that way, she just does!

There are some funny moments where our protagonist try's to get service for her cell in feudal japan, and when she agrees to help the feudal girls find a magic suit of armor because in the modern world she was a fan of fashion. If this comedy is continued further on into the series than it might be salvageable, but the fanservice needs to be toned back or we'll just end up with another High School of the Dead.

While I found the series having some interest, I still struggled to get into it as a whole.

Those who have watched shows like Fushigi Yugi will feel at home in this series, where a girl named Yoshino "Hideyoshi" Hide is magically transported back to Feudal Japan. The only difference is, all the cast are female (thus, Time Paradox).

You'll have your comedy, your serious moments, and even a bit of yuri fan-service is hinted at, but ultimately this is about Hideyoshi helping Nobunaga Oda attain an entire set of armor spread out over various neighboring countries.

While I would have liked to give this series more stars, I was sad I had to give it 3 instead of 3.5 (annoying rating system). The anime is a good for a one time viewing, but in the end one is left with nothing memorable to continue interest in it.

I found so many things that annoyed me watching this, but still had to finish watching it.
It is certainly made for boys. Big bouncing breasts in very small out-fits.
I'm wondering if there will be a sequel as the ending seem to be left open enough to carry on.

Synopsis: Battle Girls - Time Paradox is an action comedy set in the Japanese warring states period. It stars the major players of the era including Tokugawa Ieyasu, Oda Nobunga, and Toyotomi Hideyoshi reimagined as women. In fact, all of the inhabitants of this particular take on the Sengoku period are female. We follow the action from the point of view of Hideyoshi, a school girl from present times who is unexpectedly hurled back in time. There she meets the other main characters, Oda Nobunaga and Akechi Mitsuhide. The series tells of Nobunaga's quest to find all of the pieces of the mysterious Crimson Armor said to give the wearer the power to unify the land. Nobunaga is helped by her loyal retainer, Mitsuhide, who harbors a secret love for the mighty general Nobunaga. Eventually Hideyoshi realizes that she is not the only one from her time hanging out in the warring states period. We learn that there are more players after the Crimson Armor than we realized and Hideyoshi may have a way back to her own time!
Opinion:Battle Girls - Time Paradox is a fun, light take on a notable period of Japanese history. The re-imagining of the warring states generals as voluptuous anime ladies is fun. The character designs attempt to embody the historical figures while squeezing them into familiar moe architypes. On a couple of occasions Hideyoshi even consults her high school history text, but I wouldn't try to learn your Japanese history from this anime. The character personalities are entertaining and allow for a few moments of heartfelt character interaction. There are some fun fish out of water moments for Hideyoshi and a few good battles. For the most part, though, Battle Girls treads familiar territory. We eventually find out more about how Hideyoshi came to be in the past and things get a bit more interesting, but we must wait until the end of the series for this. It leaves you wondering if Hideyoshi's adventures in the warring states period are actually over for good. Overall Battle Girls - Time Paradox has some fun moments and is pretty entertaining. Long time anime viewers may not find a lot new here, but fans of the time period or the all female cast may find some enjoyment.

First off, the intro and song are catchy as heck! Love it! The series itself is not one of the best but still good. The animation style is very clean and colorful that it becomes very enjoyable to watch. The comedy was more often well placed and at least chuckle worthy. The action is pretty good but does not take over as the whole purpose. The plot is pretty decent with the historical twist it ...

The action is pretty good but does not take over as the whole purpose. The plot is pretty decent with the historical twist it goes through.

I am disappointed it is only the one season and there will unlikely be another. I felt this series could have potential with the first season being a stage setter for an even greater story to tell. While this may not be anime I end up owning, I admit I am tempted to purchasing it. But it was enjoyable enough that I will certainly come back to it on CR.

I liked this series, somehow. It contains comedy, romance and a made up history but with using some basic parts. Pretty lovely and enjoying. The whole entertainment is located in the battle itself beside the pervy sage dog with his weird jokes.

The series was very good. It was definitely a different telling to the the time line featured. I hope that they release a second season because i would definitely watch it. I recommend watching it even if just for a little historical information.

Modern-day middle school girl Hideyoshi is mysteriously hurled into a world resembling the warring states period of Japanese history, only this time it’s inhabited only by women. This world’s Oda Nobunaga is gathering the legendary Crimson Armor so she can rule the world, and for some reason needs Hideyoshi’s help to do it.

First Impressions

My expectations weren’t very high for this show. It looked like any other hetia anime with scantily clad women fighting each other, most likely with them shredding clothes in the process. Basically another To Love Ru, but much to my surprise there was a stunning lack of ecchi. Granted it was kinda there, but still like a 1/2 on the ecchi meter. Weird right? Anyway the show is a small tweak to an otherwise overused trope. The tweak being that the protagonist is female, so I’m not sure which demographic they are trying to appeal to. Usually with this kind of anime It’s ” Shy, weak, wimpy, annoying, slightly perverted, male protagonist gets teleported to a world full of half naked girls” like “Girls Bravo” (man I wish I could burn that anime from my mind), but with this show its “Air headed, idiotic, modern day, female protagonist gets teleported to a world full of half naked girls were there is barely any ecchi at all”. It’s like the creators can’t make up there minds about what sex they want to have watch the show. Anyway enough with that rant, lets talk about the protagonist herself.

I have no idea why I’ve gotten so cynical lately, perhaps its because I’ve been watching a lot of “Nostalgia Critic” reviews, but I’ve never seen such an idiotic lead character in all my life. OK the girl falls into some sort of spell circle thing, time travels back in time, lands in a forest, meets up with a bunch of samurai women who are defeating people who burned down a village, has no cellphone reception, and the people there have never heard of such a device, gets fed traditional Japanese food, and whats her solution to whats happening? “They must all be cosplayers!” Not even her vast amounts of moe can save her from my wraith.

( Deep breath…..) Ok I will say the Op is catchy, and aside from the protagonist the characters don’t seem all that bad. The story does have trace amounts of uniqueness to it, and I think I’ll stick around for a few more episodes and see were the series goes, but mostly the show just seems average. Not bad and not good, just average. Will it be my favorite of the season? That spot will still probably go to The World God Only Knows Season 2, but you never know.

I read about all the historical thing with the story and the characters, but that wasn't enough to help me enjoy this one. I don't like leaving shows half watched so I made myself finish it, but it didn't got better. The fight scenes aren't fun to watch, everything seems way too easy to accomplish (like getting the crimson armor). Some may enjoy, but I didn't.
